Lung Cancer
Despite the worldwide drive to increase awareness of the risks of smoking, lung cancer
remains a global problem.
A multidisciplinary team approach is now considered the most effective way to manage
lung cancer. Imaging plays a central role in this multidisciplinary approach; this is reflected in
the present volume.
Individual chapters focus on imaging (including screening, diagnosis of symptomatic cases
and staging) pathology and treatment options in lung cancer. Due to recent interest in the
potential role of PET for a variety of malignancies, a separate chapter is devoted to this
technique.
Each volume in Contemporary Issues in Cancer Imaging is coordinated by an expert guest
editor with contributions from all members of the multidisciplinary team, bringing together
expertise from many specialties to promote the understanding and application of modern
imaging in patient management.
